Old man Zhou is not a fool, the ridicule in Zhou Lizheng's mouth and the contempt in his eyes make him very uncomfortable.

Thinking about the eldest son when he was there, who would dare to look at him with such eyes? It's not all on to greet him.

During the New Year's holidays, the people who live in the north and south of this neighborhood come to the house to send things regardless of whether they know each other or not.

But now? Alas!

Zhou Lizheng didn't look at him again, but scolded the two noisy daughters-in-law of the Zhou family: "Shut up, look at what you guys look like?" A woman's family has nothing to do all day long, and she doesn't do serious things, so she knows how to quarrel every day? I don't want to think about it, it's almost dark and I don't go to dinner. ”

"Fifth uncle, you don't know, it's the third brother and sister who should be cooking today."

Seeing that Uncle Li Zheng was coming, the daughter-in-law hurriedly opened her mouth to speak on Tuesday, indicating that she was in charge today.

Wednesday's daughter-in-law listened to the words of the second sister-in-law and reluctantly closed her mouth.

Zhou Lizheng was really angry today. The two daughters-in-law of this family were all badly taught by the black-hearted mother-in-law.

Hehe, now it's her own consequences.

Zhou Lizheng wanted to reprimand them a few more words, but saw the eldest grandson running over in a hurry.

"Grandpa, we have a guest at home, my grandmother asked you to go back quickly." After Zhou Sheng finished speaking, he glanced at the old man Zhou who was still squatting on the ground and covering his face.

Zhou Lizheng has been doing Lizheng for nearly 20 years, and he still has some knowledge, just a glance at the eldest grandson, he knows that the guests from the house are related to this family.

He didn't say anything more, and followed his eldest grandson home.

Old man Zhou's family lives at the end of the village, and Zhou Lizheng's family lives at the head of the village, which is a boxy compound.

It was getting late at this hour, and if I was a little farther away, I couldn't see who the figure on the other side was.

Because they were thinking about things, the grandfather and grandson didn't speak, but walked quickly to the house. When he finally arrived at his door, Zhou Li was pushing the door in, and saw two tall horses tied to his yard.

"Where did this horse come from?"

Zhou Sheng didn't speak, but first tied the courtyard door from the inside, and then whispered close to his grandfather's ear and said, "Grandpa, my uncle is back." ”

Zhou Li listened to the words of the eldest grandson, and immediately trotted to the upper room where the old couple lived.

In the house, Zhou Dachong was talking to the fifth aunt and three cousins.

I saw the curtain of the door raised, and Zhou Lizheng ran in.

"Da Chong, hurry up and let the fifth uncle take a look?" Zhou Li was running to Zhou Dachong, touching Zhou Dachong's empty sleeves, and two lines of old tears flowed. "Da Chong, how can this be? Yours...... Yours......? ”

Thinking of the once, the eldest nephew who was alive and well, the word arm, Zhou Lizheng never spoke.

"Fifth uncle, I'm fine. You see, I'm not doing well right now. After Zhou Dachong finished speaking, he didn't forget to take a few steps in front of Zhou Lizheng.

"It's okay, it's okay. The......? ”

Holding back his tumbling thoughts, Zhou Lizheng found that there was a tall and handsome young man in the room.

"Fifth uncle, this is Chunshan, the personal guard of Shen Sigongzi."

Before grandpa could speak, Zhou Sheng, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, came to his senses: "Uncle Hall, is the fourth son of Shen you are talking about?" ”

"It's the fourth son of Shen in Huaiyibo's mansion."

"Uncle ...... Lobby." When Zhou Sheng heard the answer he wanted, his eyes were fiery when he looked at Chunshan at this time.

"This kid is going to be a demonic barrier. As soon as he heard about the king of Beiping County, Shen Shizi, or Shen Sigongzi, he immediately forgot who his father and mother were. ”

"Grandpa~" In front of Shen Sigongzi's personal guards, Zhou Sheng was still a little embarrassed when he talked about this.

"Okay, don't talk about it." Zhou Lizheng promised his eldest grandson, so he changed the subject: "Da Chong, what about your daughter-in-law and three children?" ”

"All four of them are in Pine Ridge."

"Songling County?" That's exactly what Zhou Li had heard of about this place. "I heard it was a poor place."

"It's much better now, and it will be fine later."

Zhou Lizheng: "......? ”

After Lord Xie took office, Cao Daman was brought to justice, and both Cao and Wang were escorted to the capital by Shen Sigongzi. Today, Pine Ridge is thriving. ”

"That's a good idea." Zhou Li saw his eldest nephew and told him about the affairs of Songling County, so he couldn't help but ask again: "Da Chong, have you settled down in Songling?" ”

"Well, we'll make our home in Pine Ridge."

When Zhou Dachong saw that the fifth uncle asked him about his current situation, he did not hide it, and told him about the recent situation of his family in Songling.

When he heard that Zhou Dachong was now the county magistrate of Songling County, not only Zhou Lizheng's three sons were stunned, but even Zhou Lizheng was also stunned.

"Da Chong, is this true?"

"Fifth uncle, it's true."

Although Zhou Lizheng doesn't know why, the eldest nephew's body is disabled and he can still be an official. And it's also a county official, second only to the county magistrate.

But he also knew that this nephew would never lie to him.

"It's really good, mother, you prepare some tribute, tomorrow morning, I will go to inform our ancestors and ancestors of the Zhou family, and we will be the county prince."

"Old man, you don't have to worry about it, when Da Chong comes back, he will bring them all back." Aunt Friday pointed to the wine and meat snacks on the table and said.

"Fifth uncle, fifth aunt, this is what my nephew bought to honor you. I'll buy the items for worshipping my ancestors tomorrow morning. ”

"Eh~, that's good, let's respect our ancestors first." Zhou Lizheng can still let the eldest nephew buy it again.

While they were talking here, the voice of the eldest daughter-in-law came from the courtyard: "Father, mother, the meal is ready, let's eat." ”

"Good. Let's eat now. ”

For this meal, Aunt Friday took out all the best ingredients in the house, and it can be regarded as a very good four dishes and one soup on the farmer's dinner table.

The first course, of course, is the most famous chicken stew with mushrooms in the farmhouse,

The second dish is scrambled eggs with leeks.

The third course is stewed beans with pork belly.

The fourth course, tossed with a choy sum.

The last thing on the table is a big bowl, fungus egg drop soup.

Zhou Lizheng also took it out, and he treasured a jar of sorghum wine for more than half a year.

"Come, let's have a drink, let's drink a small cup."

"Okay, I'll accompany the fifth uncle to have a small cup."

The men sat at a table in the hall, and the women sat in the hearth.

Aunt Friday looked at her eldest daughter-in-law who was worried and asked in a low voice: "Eldest daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you today?" ”

Xu's. Secretly glanced at the two brothers and daughters-in-law, and then lowered his voice and said, "Mother, Brother Lobby is ...... now." ”

Before the eldest daughter-in-law could finish speaking, the fifth aunt stopped her.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, our family has always been your father's head, if your father doesn't say anything, let's not intervene."
